This includes<\/a><\/strong> 14 authorized e-money token (EMT) issuers and 39 MiCA-licensed crypto-asset service providers (CASPs).<\/p>\n

The 14 EMT issuers originate from seven EU member states and are collectively issuing 20 fiat-backed stablecoins: 12 pegged to the euro, 7 to the U.S. dollar, and 1 to the Czech koruna. Leading names include Circle, Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9n\u00e9rale \u2013 Forge, Membrane Finance, and Crypto.com. These approvals aim to standardize stablecoin compliance under MiCA and expand consumer trust in digital euro and dollar equivalents.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 39 CASPs have secured full MiCA licenses, allowing them to operate across the entire European Economic Area (EEA). Countries like Germany (12 firms), the Netherlands (11), and Malta (5) dominate the approvals. The list includes a blend of traditional financial institutions (e.g., BBVA, Clearstream), fintech platforms (eToro, N26), and major crypto exchanges (Coinbase, Kraken, Bitstamp, OKX).<\/p>\n

MiCA Momentum Builds Amid Oversight Gaps and Compliance Push<\/h2>\n

Despite the progress, the MiCA rollout has revealed regulatory blind spots. No asset-referenced token (ART) issuers have been approved, indicating tepid market interest in non-fiat-backed assets. About 30 whitepapers have been filed under MiCA Title II for major assets like BTC and ETH, reflecting increasing institutional alignment with crypto regulation.<\/p>\n
